Medina Slugs Royals to 3-2 Win
The Kansas City Royals topped the Cleveland Spiders by the score of 3-2, with the biggest share of the credit going to designated hitter Edgardo Medina. Medina belted 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice for the Royals on the day. Luis Severino, the winner, improved to 6-5. He held the Spiders to 2 runs on 4 hits over 5 innings, while striking out 3 and walking 3. With the win, Kansas City upped its record to 54-49.

Medina contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Kansas City in the top of the third. With his team trailing 1-0, Medina took a changeup from Hunter Harvey and stroked the home run to right-center. His 13th home run of the season allowed the Royals to leap in front, 2-1.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Medina.
